Asgaut - Village

[A.V]

Hello people

Just wanted to introduce you to a band that I really like, and believe you all here will also like it because their music resembles Opeth in (way too) many ways.

Asgaut were (unfortunately they broke up) also a kind of Death / Prog metal band, with few Doom touches in it, from Israel.
Their first and only LP, Village, is a 5 songs record that recieved lots of good reviews in the Israeli Metal scene.

Anyway, here are two songs from their album for you to hear and impress:


I'd be glad if you'll leave a comment, and also share if you know any other bands with a familiar sound!
Enjoy

Downloading now. Are they anything like Orphaned Land?

EDIT: So, it's better than I expected. The growls are traditional Doom grunts, and the softer parts have an even Porcupine Treeish sound to them. What year was this?

I have heaps to check out atm, but when I get a chance I'll give it a spin.

They surely are also influenced by Orphaned Land, but it's not as obvious at all as their Opeth source.

About the release date - 2005.



C'mon guys give it a try! I promise you'll like it and find it pretty interesting!

I've got Village (one of the hand-numbered versions of the album). It's pretty good, has some ridiculously awesome moments (specifically the middle of the theme song onwards and the song The Edge Of The Hour). A band that showed great promise. I didn't know that they broke up - shame.
Their stuff is VERY influenced by Opeth, especially Morningrise, IMO. But it's still a nice listen.
